As promised, I've created a bookmarklet that will give you a 1-up-2-down image from the three views / in-situs you select from those available on the product page. Read the tutorial and get your bookmarklet here:

Here's what one looks like:
...and this is the set-up page you get after you click the bookmarklet when you're on a product page:
Here's a pin I made with it:
I've actually had some form of lurgy that's kept me in bed over the last few days and it was a nice surprise to find that one person was kind enough to make a donation when I finally got back to my computer today 😊
Thankyou - you know who you are!
You can rest easy, @PacifierCity 🙂 Nifty does not and cannot see what you do with the bookmarklet nor track whether you use it at all. I'm not even sure if there's a way to tell whether you install it.
The bookmarklets are written in Javascript and can be looked at by anyone who knows what they're doing to confirm what I say. I don't do sneaky 😇
How do they work?
When you click the bookmarklet, it causes its javascript code to run. If you're not on a product page it will fail. If you are, the code builds the setup page - the needed html with the urls for the views / in-situs - and yet more javascript that creates the html for the page with the smooshed final image, once you've made your image selections.
I hope that gives you the gist of what's going on 😎
No, the text is not Z's generic description for the product type. It's the description I copied and pasted from the product page (with some amends and hashtags).
So far, (going as far back as the end of November!!!) the text has stuck. Both on Carousel pins and on 2-View pins.
There's no reason to believe that will change but you never know for sure...
PS It's the unique text (and sparing use of hashtags) that is making Pinterest give them lots more exposure than it does for the 'normal' pins that use the generic text.
Yes, prices are included in the Facebook Data Feeds that Nifty creates, @CreativeLeahG. You can always check what's in the one you've just created by using the "review data feed content" link you're given.
Here's an example of one I just made:
Remember that those data feeds are specifically for Fb Shops. I'm not sure if they'd pass muster for any other purpose because Fb Shops need non-standard feed contents.
I hope that helps 🙂
Ah, I misunderstood.
To avoid issues with prices being out of date, your pages' product grids would have to be re-created with live data each time a visitor gets to such a page.
The issue with providing a live version of a Nifty product grid widget is that my server would get hammered by requests - more so if really popular sites used it.
Your only real alternative from me is to use NiftyGridZPro, a plugin for WordPress websites. That does everything live because it's your server pulling feeds directly from Zazzle, not mine. Here's an example of a product grid created by NiftyGridZPro, complete with live prices:

No, it wouldn't work on Blogger. It's specificaly a WordPress plugin, @CreativeLeahG
An alternative would be to use the static product grid Nifty widget on Blogger. It's available in Step 2 of the Nifty Promo Control Panel:
